Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is a more affordable version of its 5G counterpart, sans the high-speed connectivity. Despite the price cut, this phone still packs an elegant glass design with a glossy finish and a 6.55-inch AMOLED display that's protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Performance-wise, the Mi 11 Lite runs on a mid-range Snapdragon 732G chipset, which, while sufficient for daily tasks, lags behind its 5G sibling's more powerful processor. However, this shouldn't be an issue unless you're a heavy gamer or require extreme performance. The camera setup is identical to the 5G version, featuring a quad-camera configuration with a 64MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and 5MP tele-macro camera. Photos from the main camera are excellent, with good detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range. Low-light performance is also impressive, although the dedicated Night mode feature is not always activated. Battery life is where this phone truly shines, with a 4,250mAh power pack that provides up to 100 hours of endurance. Fast charging is also supported, courtesy of the bundled 33W charger. The Mi 11 Lite's design and display are reminiscent of its pricier counterpart, but without the added luxury of 5G connectivity. For those not requiring extreme performance or high-speed networking, this phone offers excellent value for money. However, in this price range, other Xiaomi offerings may provide more competitive specs, making it essential to compare before making a purchase decision.

ZTE Blade A73

With adaptive 5G technology and an Unisoc octa-core processor, the A73 is designed for users who want reliable performance without breaking the bank.
